Bethany Lopez is a human referenced in the Neverseen, who seems to be rather rude and condescending towards Sophie. At the time, she had been in first grade, a year older than Sophie, and was her neighbor across the street. Through this, she is also in the same district Mr. Forkle was located in. Later, in "The Boy Who Disappeared" memory, Sophie recalled that Bethany had called her "Dorktionary" (presumably because Sophie had won the school spelling bee) and told her to go spell something when Sophie tries to have a playdate with her.
